“Both companies are committed to reducing C02 emissions.

Nissan is in the final development phase of the road-going version of the van, which will be its second mass-produced zero emission vehicle after the LEAF.

Nissan has been working with FedEx Express since December 2011 to test the e-NV200 in real world operations to help shape development of the 100% electric compact delivery vehicle, with production slated to begin in Barcelona at the end of 2013.
